Reclast BEWARE causes broken femur!

I had 2 of the 3 infusions, and while it actually did strengthen my bones, it has severely damaged my teeth. I have not yet been diagnosed, but it is quite likely that I have necrotic bone damage. My symptoms include severe pain when chewing, broken teeth, needing to have both canine teeth removed, receding gums to the point that I can feel the root of the tooth, and terrible black abcesses on my teeth. Sadly, I do not meet the VA’s requirements to be treated at their clinic and do not have dental insurance. I will be trying to connect with a Patient’s Advocate tomorrow.

@davi73ford I'm so sorry for what you are going through Davi. I hope you get the help you need. I'm a little surprised the VA doesn't cover this.

I'm also curious about why this happens. I read that a very rare side effect of Reclast is osteonecrosis of the jaw. This might explain what is happening to you.

I hope you get some answers and that your condition improves, quickly!
